Arriving home from yet another conference. It was four hours of driving 75 miles an hour in the pouring rain.

Home sweet home.

:cowboy:

I got my grade back from one of my 15 page papers that was soooo painfully difficult to write. It was nearly three weeks late too.

I received a nearly perfect grade which I only have to snicker at because another student in my class turned it in on time and and received a lower grade. Not that i took that extra time to write it. It was just that is when I finally had the time to write it.

But, i got the best compliment from the teacher too:

"Excellent job on this paper ........! The creative gifted learners in your district will be lucky to have you conducting assessments." yeah.. that's the smile part...:praying: :cigar2: sounds like a good time to celebrate with a cigar!

An OSU win
An Iowa State win

An appointment for a CT scan with no waiting. In and out, easy peasy!

Also, a tech who hit the right vein on the first try, with no fishing around and virtually pain free!

someone at work today purposely stayed in my line after being offered to go next in another line.....and then complimented me on my hair. :blush:

well, alrighty then

I won two prizes at a raffle we had a work.

One prize is two tickets to our local playhouse and the other prize is a wine and glass caddy with a bottle of wine and two wine glasses similar to the one below:

So glad I went. Purchased a bunch of earrings (am wearing a pair of Afghan coins that I got), a brownie, a couple gifts, and some raffle tickets.

Lucky me!

I went to our Arts & Crafts fair. Employees (and friends of employees) bring in their crafts or foods to sell, a few local businesses donate their goods, one of the owners auctions off his timeshare for a week, etc, and part of the proceeds go to charity. The $2 ghirardelli brownies always sell out within a couple hours.

I've been here for years and this is the first time I won something in the raffle. :)

Did someone say Ghirardelli Brownie...........:awww:

Congratulations on your raffle wins! - Wendy's has been selling a Frosty Sundae made with Ghirardelli chocolate sauce and crumbled chocolate chip cookies. Honestly, the sauce was the best part. Alas, they are no longer making them. But they were amazing while they lasted.

What's making me smile? The red berries on the holly outside in my yard.

I napped after breakfast for two hours then ate icecream when I woke up. Perfect.

My Sunday afternoon Holiday art project
 

Making holiday prezzies for our team of 8 staff members at work. I bought cute tiny tins, then filled them with holiday candy, then made each person a home made holiday card, with which they get a picture of a special art project I made last summer (back in 2018). They have no idea that I am bringing gift swag bags to work tomorrow, so it makes me smile that I can do something kind for each person on our team and get their holiday season off to a wonderful start. :balloon:

I got a big dose of sugar, baby, honey today. That is comfort food for my soul.

This made me smile... ❤️
